Tomoya Aki, a dedicated otaku, finds himself captivated by a mysterious girl he meets during a chance encounter one spring break. That fleeting yet magical moment inspires him to create a bishoujo game designed to capture the essence of that perfect scene. As his second year of high school begins, Tomoya realizes he has made no progress on the game. To his surprise, he discovers the girl from his memory is actually his unassuming classmate, Megumi Katou. Determined to bring his game to life, Tomoya asks Megumi for help and convinces his childhood friend, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, and senior, Utaha Kasumigaoka, to join the project. However, Tomoya quickly learns that collaborating with friends on such an ambitious venture is far more challenging than he expected.
